 * I was looking over existing plugins to enable tabs in the editor, and checking
   out this one.
 * I stopped when I saw the packed code in the source.

 * I’m sure its most likely harmless, but I personally am scared away by any plugin
   that doesn’t include source code. Also, I’m pretty sure its against the terms
   of the Plugin Repository and the GPL.
 * Can you revise the plugin to show the unminified source code instead?

 * Never mind. The packed code is fine. Didn’t remember how easy it was to run it
   through jsBeautify and see the original source.
 * I still think that including the source would be a good idea.
